I couldn't find the 001210 revision at
ftp.m17n.org:/pub/super-h/testing/
Could you please e-mail it to me, or give me a URL?

Alright. Where can I snag this sh-linux-gnu target patch?

BTW, I am also extremely interested in getting the C++ compiler built.
Will LANGUAGES="c" prevent --enable-languages=c,c++ from working? (I'm
inclined to think not... If I remember correctly, these directives do
wholly separate things)

Cool, that's pretty impressive... I assume from your use of X you're
working on a dreamcast or an SH handheld PC? I am working on a deeply
embedded target where running X would be insane overkill, not to mention
impossible =)

Alright, either (or both) would be great. Thanks again for your
assistance...
